HVAC Equations, Data, and Rules of Thumb, Third Edition

The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning HVAC Equations, Data, and Rules of Thumb, Third Edition, and other information contained within this reference manual were assembled to aid the beginning engineer and designer in the design of HVAC systems. In addition, the experienced engineer or designer may find this manual useful as a quick design reference guide, field manual, and teaching tool.

The following pages compile information from various reference sources listed in Part 53 of this manual, from college HVAC class notes, from continuing education design seminars and classes, from engineers, and from personal experience. This document was put together as an encyclopedic type reference in contract specification outline format where information could be looked up quickly, in lieu of searching through volumes of textbooks, reference books and manuals, periodicals, trade articles, and product catalogs

HVAC Equations, Data, and Rules of Thumb, Third Edition

1. Building loads are based on building gross square footage.
2. Building loads generally include ventilation and make-up air requirements.
3. These rules of thumb may be used to estimate system loads during the preliminary design stages of a project.
4. Building loads for construction documents should be calculated using the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals
